So, can I get into Biochem 285 without Bio 100?
No. You will not be admitted to Biochem 285 without having completed the prerequisite Bio 100 course. If you have completed Bio 100 and cannot enroll in SPIRE, nicely ask Carol Ryan in Biochemistry for an override, letting her know that you are a Chemical Engineering major and have completed Bio 100. Although Bio 101 is a prerequisite of Biochem 285, Chemical Engineering majors are exempted from this requirement. 18. But Biochem 285 is easy, right? I mean, it’s a 200 level class… Biochem 285 is not necessarily an “easy” course, in fact some students find it quite challenging, and it should not be taken lightly just because it is a 200-level course. Note that all of your non-ChE classmates will have taken both Bio 100 and Bio 101 (see previous question).
